Chapter 750
“Seren, I might have to go on a business trip.”
Serenity looked up while still in his arms and asked in confusion, “It’s only a few days
till
your company’s annual break, but you have to go on a business trip?”
“It’s a short one to Annenburg. I’ll be back in a couple of days.”
Zachary bowed his head and kissed her forehead. His dark eyes burned as they locked on her pretty face, and he
asked in a low voice, “Miss me already?”
“When are you leaving? I’ll help you pack your bags and send you to the airport.”
Zachary was speechless.
He thought she would miss him, but she was just confirming whether he was really going on a business trip. She
then happily offered to pack his luggage and drive him to the airport. She did not even ask what the business trip
was for.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZachary felt depressed.
The couple tangled under the sheets several times already, so he thought their feelings were different now.
However, it only seemed to be slightly better than before. She was not clingy toward
him at all.
It was with that kind of sorrow that a certain Mr. York flew to Annenburg to attend the wedding of an important
business partner, Ben Young-Johnson, the CEO of FC &
1. CO.
At the wedding, when he saw the newlyweds and heard that Jane, the bride, was pregnant with twins, Zachary felt
envious.
With Remy’s introduction, Zachary met Laurent Lafayette from Meadspring. He heard. that Laurent was like him,
taking an entourage of bodyguards wherever he went; both for his safety and to steer his admirers away.
*The day after the wedding, Zachary went to FC Manor.
Since Remy was the closest to Zachary, he was welcomed by Remy upon his arrival at FC Manor.
However, Remy saw how quiet Zachary was, as if he was heavy-hearted. Remy changed the subject and said, “Mr.
York, it’s rare that you visit Annenburg. Why don’t I show you around?”
Zachary had long heard of the picturesque scenery of FC Manor. The old York residence was not inferior to FC
Manor, but Zachary did not refuse Remy’s proposal.
“Sure, Mr. Johnson.”
Remy smiled. “You came all the way to Annenburg, so I have to try my best to be a good host. If you’re not in a
hurry to go back, I’ll show you around for the next few days and let you enjoy Annenburg’s view. Personally, I find
the scenic spots here. much better than the ones in Wiltspoon.”
There were no particularly famous scenic spots in Wiltspoon whereas Annenburg was the most charming city in the
province.
After a moment of silence, Zachary said, “I’m going back soon for the holidays. I’m going to take a few days off to
spend time with the elders of my family.”
The Johnsons gave him a similar vibe to his family; a harmonious family where brothers and uncles get along
without any power struggles.
Back then, Ben brought his beloved wife back to Meadspring and handed over FC & Co. to his third and fourth
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbrothers. The two men were able to handle it for a period of time, but the pressure got too huge, and they begged
for Ben’s comeback.
After the business with the Lafayettes in Meadspring was done, Ben returned with his wife, and the two men
immediately handed the company back to him as if it was a hot potato.
When Zachary heard about this, he felt it was something that could happen to the York family too.
He had a deep understanding of the weight that Ben had to carry on his shoulders. It was like Ben was a second
Zachary.
Remy smiled. “You’re right. We’re usually very busy at work and have almost no time to spend with the family. Take
advantage of the holidays to relax and spend some quality time with your elders at home.”
Remy took Zachary out of the house and strolled around the manor.
* The two of them chatted idly, with Remy doing most of the talking while Zachary
listened.
“Mr. York, are you feeling troubled?”
When Zachary remained silent, Remy finally asked, “Mr. York, our companies are working together, arid we can be
considered friends. If you trust me, you can speak your mind. Maybe I could be of help.”
